Time units are just as cursed as American units.
Conversion between days, hours, minutes and seconds is a total mess. If you never have to do anything with those numbers, you donβt need to worry about it. The moment you need to do calculations or compare devices you run into completely unnecessary problems that would have been easy to avoid. Just think of pumps and fans with units given in l/min or m^3/h.
Just pick the standard time unit and stick with it. Use prefixes to deal with big or small numbers.

Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day
My stairs are pretty steep does that count?
There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is "reckonise" which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.
driving on the left just makes way more sense.
Only because it's what you're used to. Also I know there are countries (Sweden, or was it Norway?) that have switched which side they drive on, and as far as I know no one has switched from right to left.
I have a reason. Most people are right handed. In a Right hand drive car with manual gears your preferred hand remains on the steering wheel when you change gears. Also messing with the stereo or climate controls also leaves your preferred hand on the wheel.
That's a fair point actually, and one I've not heard before. I'm not sure it's worth trying to convert all (checks notes) 174 countries/territories to right-hand drive, but that's reasonable.

The split between "Today" and "Tomorrow" is at midnight, not when one sleeps/wakes up.
This comes up often after midnight when my girlfriend asks me about "tomorrow". Why discuss breakfast for tomorrow when we still haven't had breakfast today??
I guess my hill is to fight you on this.
They current day isnt over until you wake up, or the sun comes up
